VERY EASY.... The Process of Organ donation 1. Hospital Organ Donation Registry coordinates the process of cadaver organ donation i.e. organ donation after death and transplantation. 2. There are two ways to donate organs: a. By pledging for organ donation when a person is alive b. By consent of family after death. 3. During lifetime, a person can pledge for organ donation by filling up a donor form in the presence of two witnesses, one of who shall be a near relative. After receiving the filled in form, the hospital / agency will provide the donor with an organ donor card bearing registration number on it. 4. It is suggested to keep the donor card in your pocket and share your decision with your near and dear ones. 5. If a person expires without registration, the family members can donate his/her organs. For this they need to sign a consent form, which is provided at that time. 6. Once, the relatives give a written consent, organs are harvested within a few hours. 7. The family of the donor does not face any difficulty or extra burden upon them. 8. The transplant coordination team carries out the entire process till the relatives receive the body of the deceased. 9. The deceased body is given back to the family in a dignified way. 10. There is no disfigurement. The body can be viewed as in any case of death and funeral arrangements need not be delayed.
